Now thats how an egg should look
Sam launches to join (as you get higher) Mark, James and Lisa at Mirador
A James eye view of a classic site
Lisa looks pretty pleased with herself at the end of the days flying
Was it the video bar or dancing girls at launch, can't quite remeberWith a breezy forecast we ere fully prepared for a days sightseeing and cave exploring as we loaded the cars following Mark F taking a firm lead in the egg comp' with 4 near perfect examples.
Mala was flyable (as some were) but didn't look to much fun so continued north. on arrival at Mirador we put the cafe on hold and headed to launch where amazingly it was good. After a quick check out flight James, Sam and Mark were all soon in the air and having fun. The girls held fire as condition got quite lively in "nice" thermic conditions which saw the guys gliding over a huge area. After an hour or so Kaz, Lisa and myself left them to it and headed to the amazing cafe for a coffee and to take in the views.
News cam through that Mark had landed at Orzola whilst James and Sam were back on top so we nipped off to pick him up. Arriving back at launch the guys were again taking off in by now smoother conditions to enjoy the late afternoon / evening shift. Lisa then gave it a shot and was soon top of the stack floating around over the bowl taking in the breathtaking view and wondering how she was ever going to get down!
They guys played with there top landings and launches and James went for his Asymmetrics for his pilot rating and did a great job of them looking calm and collected throughout. As the sun began to set Lisa managed to work her way down and came in for a superb top landing with a huge grin on her face, nice one.
Eating out in the old port we had a super meal and a few drinks in the video bar which is always a fun place to bewith good music and retro videos. It wa ahappy if tired group that bundled into one car for the ride back and a few 43's whilst checking out the days piccies which I will get around to. Last day tomorrow and guess what , the weather looks good so with a late flight back hopfully we may just get 7 days out of 7 flying ............
